Lots of Small Ball

We mentioned earlier that the general demeanor of today's event is much mellower than most other Day 1s we've seen so far this year.

The same can be said for the overall style of play. As opposed to many of the other large events we've seen, today's players don't seem to be doing much, if any, three betting before or after the flop. Instead, we're seeing many more limped pots and flat calls, with players content to bide their time and win small pots rather than aggressively try to accumulate chips in the early going.
